Answer to Question 1

B
Griseofulvin is used for tinea infections of the skin, hair, and nails that are not responsive to topical therapy. Topical treatment of tinea capitis is usually ineffective because the fungus invades the hair shaft. Fluconazole is not indicated for tinea infections.

Answer to Question 2

D
Topical miconazole is still recommended as the drug of first choice and should be given when oral fluconazole has failed. Fluconazole has been approved for single-dose treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis, although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continues to recommend topical therapy with an imidazole derivative because of fluconazole-resistant candidiasis. Ketoconazole and griseofulvin are not recommended first-line treatments for vulvovaginal candidiasis. Another dose of fluconazole would not be effective if resistance is present.
